VA - Sampled Vol. 1 - 4 [2000-2003] (8 x CDs)

Introducing Virgin Records "Sampled" Compilation Series (2000-2003), this collection is a journey through the original tracks that have shaped countless hits across various genres such as pop, funk, jazz, disco, and more. Spanning 8 CDs, each disc features a diverse range of original songs that have been sampled by artists in commercial dance hits, hip-hop tracks, and beyond.

This series is full of musical gems, offering rare, classic, and curious tracks that were famously sampled to create mainstream and cult classics. It's a collection that caters to ardent trainspotters and lovers of jazz, soul, disco, blues, and contemporary dance music alike. The diversity and reach of these hits, funk classics, and rare grooves are astounding, providing a crash course in the timelessness and endless mutability of great music.

What sets the "Sampled" series apart is its focus on the tracks that hip-hop producers have unearthed from their crates and sampled to craft iconic beats. While many 1980s, 1990s, and early 21st-century tracks may not stand the test of time, the songs collected here retain their soulful and addictive charm, ensuring an enduring appeal. One of the most delightful aspects of the "Sampled" series is the joy of recognizing a given beat or break and experiencing that moment of recognition when music's past and present merge. This compilation is not just about nostalgia; it is about celebrating the artistry and creativity that have kept these tracks relevant and cherished across generations.

The "Sampled" series may not be the first to assemble original recordings, but it is undoubtedly one of the best. The care and attention to detail in curating this collection make it a must-have for anyone passionate about music and its evolution. Don't miss out on a musical adventure in a world where the past meets the present, and every track tells a story. (B)
